I became one with the earth today when my dog Tubby knocked me down the hill and into the neighbor's ditch. It wasn't exactly how I planned to celebrate Earth Day, but hey, it was a start! You'd think I'd learn, as this was the second time he's knocked me into that particular ditch! I swear I could even see him smile when it happened and he thoroughly enjoys himself when his Mama is rolling around in the grass at his level!
While I don't necessarily suggest you celebrate Earth Day the same way my morning started out, here are a few other ways you might rejoice instead:
Take your yoga mat out onto the porch and let the birds be your song of inspiration; plant some tomatoes; take a walk through a field and pick wildflowers; go fishing with worms you dig up from your very own garden; climb a tree - you can do it!; toss bread to some ducks; feed pigeons at the park; make a daisy or dandelion chain and actually wear it in your hair - I dare ya!; wiggle your toes in the sand or splash in a mudpuddle; sit on a rock and listen to the ocean crash to shore; take off your shoes and let the grass tickle your feet;
However you choose to celebrate this wonderful Earth of ours, make it special! Thank God for the beauty of it!
